Practical medicine August 30, 2009
daniela (ROMANIA)
Excellent manual for doctors with some experience who know exactly where to search and what.I use it to compare US Medicine to the European Medicine and on a rate of the renewal of the medical information at every 5 years,Harrison`s Handbook Manual is very usefull in daily practice.
good reference for internal medicine rotation May 1, 2009
Q wave (Chicago, IL)
Since the full-size Harrison's is rather...full-sized, this book is a good reference to take with you for studying at the hospital. It has good differentials of common patient presentations and covers the basics of common diagnoses and treatment.
 Was expecting a little more ... October 24, 2007
J. G. McCowan (Newark, NJ, United States)
Not as in depth as I would have liked, but I guess it's hard to do that in a "coat-sized" book. Overall, it's okay ... just nothing that lights my world on fire.
Good... but not great May 19, 2006

I bought this book at the beginning of my 3rd year medicine rotation and used it for several weeks. It was good... but I did not find the layout and algorithms to be user friendly. It has the information.. but I found myself searching in various sections to find what I needed many a time. Overall a good book, but having experimented with others for my other medicine and family medicine rotations, I would recc that you peruse through either Medicine Recall, Consult Manual of Internal Medicine, &/or Pocket Medicine. All are great... and have different styles. Its simply a matter of personal preferance.
 Excellent April 22, 2006

This pocket manual really does contain everything you could possibly need for an excellent pocket reference during your internal medicine rotation. Also clearly references the larger text, in case you want even more information.
